Losing belly fat is the hardest, they say. And when you want to strengthen your core and lose the flab, we most commonly resort to crunches. Here are some moves that can help you lose fat from the mid-section. Each of these moves stimulate and tighten the core muscles while burning calories.

Stand with your upper body straight and shoulders back and relaxed, and chin up. Step forward with one leg, lowering your hips until both knees are bent at 90-degree angle. Make sure your front knee is directly above your ankle, not pushed out too far. Your other knee should not touch the floor. Keep the weight on your heels as you push back up to the starting position. Repeat with alternate legs.

Meeting daily requirement of essential vitamins and minerals is always recommended through natural diet. However, there are many who feel their diet may not be giving them these required nutrients and so they resort to vitamin supplements to make up for lost nutrients. While these nutrients are essential to our health, mindlessly popping multi-vitamin capsules can be toxic. Let’s see how! (Image Courtesy: Shutterstock)
Overdose of Vitamin A

As Vitamin A is water-soluble (which gets easily dissolved in water), our body can store it in excess amounts, mainly in liver. Excess of Vitamin A can cause allergic reactions. Your face, lips, tongue or throat can swell. It can also lead to increased intracranial pressure, dizziness, nausea, joint pains and even coma! (Image Courtesy: Shutterstock)
Overdose of Vitamin C
